Animals

Sloths can hold their breath underwater for up to forty minutes, which is longer than most dolphins.

Why this is true — By slowing their heart rate down to a third of its usual pace, three-toed sloths can survive underwater for up to 40 minutes, whereas most dolphins must surface every 10 to 15 minutes.
